January 2021 Release Notes
What's New from January 2021
New
- Release Notes: Release notes are now officially available!
- Terraform Quick Start: Created an example Terraform quick start file that allows you to create resources and/or test them quickly, and can also be customized to use with your own infrastructure.
- CLI Access for DBAs: Added the ability for users with the DBA permission level to use CLI commands under the
sdm admin
branch that correspond with their abilities in the Admin UI. - K8s Debugging Support: Added support for logging and auditing of Kubernetes sessions from
kubectl debug
command. - Session ID Column: Added a button for SSH replays in the Admin UI that copies the session ID to the clipboard. This can then be used when auditing via the CLI.
- AWS Authentication: Extended support for assuming Role ARN to all eligible AWS resources (DynamoDB, Athena, AmazonES). Also added support for passing External ID (along with assuming Role ARN).
Updated
- Gateway Stability: Improved gateway resilience and recovery during incidents caused by misconfigured gateways.
- Improved Client Connectivity: We now prune stale gateways from the client to improve connection success rate.
- Terraform Configuration: Improved Terraform provider to handle new line breaks in API Access Key and Secret Key fields.
- Improved Error Messaging: Provided a more informative error message when a resource is only accessible by an isolated relay, or when trying to create a datasource with a duplicate name.
- SSH Keep-Alive: We now forward
keepalive@openssh.com
requests through our ssh proxy. - CLI UX: The
sdm status
CLI command now organizes all resources by their specific type. - Replays: Improved SSH session replays so that custom formatting in a replay is cleaned up after it finishes.
